This short tutorial describes how to get started with developing AVR32 software using AVR32 Studio.
The first thing you need to do is to create a new project. Go to the File menu, select New... and the type of project you want to make. This will typically be AVR32 C Project or AVR32 C++ Project.
Fill out the information required in the wizard, such as the project name, the MCU supported and the type of project you want to start on.
The easiest way of adding a target is to use the Scan Targets action. Open the AVR32 Targets view and right click in it. This will bring up the view context menu. Select the action and let it discover whatever devices you have plugged into the USB port. If you have a JTAGICE mkII it will be shown here.
If no target was discovered you can manually add a new one by pressing the Add target tool button in the view.
Now open the Properties view for the target by selecting it and pressing Enter. If the target was added manually you must select the Adapter tab and set the correct adapter. Otherwise the adapter should be correct.
Go to the Board tab and select the board you have. The MCU will be automatically selected if there is only one MCU available for that board. Otherwise you must also select the correct MCU.
We have provided several cheat sheets or step-by-step tutorials on how to perform different tasks in AVR32 Studio. You can find these in the Help menu under Cheat Sheets...
